Sukta 1.151

Devata: Mitra-Varuṇa (dual) (very likely; asura epithet and ṛta-guardianship)

प्र सा क्षितिरसुर या महि प्रिय ऋतावानावृतमा घोषथो बृहत् । युवं दिवो बृहतो दक्षमाभुवं गां न धुर्युप युञ्जाथे अपः ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.151.4

prá sā́ kṣitír asura yā́ máhi priyā́ ṛtā́vānāv ṛtám ā́ ghoṣatho bṛhát | yuváṃ divó bṛható dákṣam ā́bhuvaṃ gā́ṃ na dhury úpa yuñjāthe ápaḥ ||

Quyền chủ tể lớn lao và đáng mến này, hỡi các quyền năng Asura, hai Ngài công bố như Chân Lý Bao La—hai Ngài là những bậc sở hữu ṛta. Hai Ngài đã trở thành kỹ năng hùng mạnh (dákṣa) của bầu trời rộng lớn; và hai Ngài ách các dòng Nước như bò kéo xe vào ách, khiến các dòng chảy phục vụ cho công việc ấy.
